Abbazie e Santuari in Basilicata

In Romanesque style, the church stands in a dominant position in the historic centre of the town, probably built in the 12th century.

With a three-nave plan, the one on the left side is particularly interesting with three altars, two of which are dedicated to St Biagio and the Sacro Cuore (Sacred Heart), in which a valuable 15th-century wooden polyptych by the Neapolitan school founded by Giotto around 1330 is preserved, and the central one to St Rocco.

In the Church of St Nicola, the 16th-century wooden olive statue of St Rocco, found in the 16th century in a place very close to the town, is carefully preserved. Anyone observing it is enraptured by the intense gaze of the face that hints at a reassuring smile. During celebrations in honour of the Saint of Montepellier, the statue is covered in gold by the faithful.
